Prophet Helias (Profitis Ilias) Church, Stylloi, Famagusta, Cyprus
The Prophet Hlias Church, located in the village of Stylloi about 3 to 4 miles west of Salamis north of the buffer zone, is a substantial structure built in the early 20th Century. It was abandoned in 1974 as the local Greek residents fled to the south. While the structure of the church is intact, it appears to have been damaged - one bell tower appears to be missing, there is graffiti on the walls, and the headstones in the churchyard have been smashed.
